I can in Goodison. I think there are any number of blokes in our squad who'd like to stick it to SIlva. I think you give them the Arsenal-under-Wenger treatment. Send out Deeney and Success and have them start tossing centre backs about and see if they are up for it. I don't think that their big boys back there are used to big people coming at them physically. WIth that going on and the likes of Pereyra, Duelofeu and Masina weaving in and out, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see at least on CB and the likes of Gueye lose his cool. Also, press them high so no one can play an easy long ball to Ricky or Theo and see what Plan B is for them.

Sounds like we need a proper centre forward that can get on the end of crosses? Tbh we got too carried away after the first games, thinking we might now break into the top 8 this season. We are just a decent outfit that are fragile minded, easy to fluster at the back, but can have one game in five where we grab a great win. We have 50% of our main 14 that either lack confidence / have lots to learn in the Prem / think they're better than they really are / don't like playing the cold and wet / slow....I have said this a lot before but only ever play really well when the oppo are off form or lack confidence. If I see one more article from players saying how confident they feel and how they want press on up the table, I will go mad!!!

Yes agreed.We haven't had an in form striker since Ighalo went stale, no other Prem team would want a cb partnership of Cathcart and Mapps, and we look so exposed whenever our FBs push up into attack. When ever Success gets through on goal he just seems to hoof the ball over the bar, no technique at all.I want to know why Prodl and Kabs are no longer deemed good enough? I have to assume that Gracia is putting team ethics and professional attitutude as his barometer for player selection?Finally, why can't Gracia put an arm around GD and calm him down a bit..?Rant over....
